ATLANTA — Georgia lawmakers may eliminate a tax break for all airlines buying jet fuel at the world’s busiest airport.
A bill filed in the House would cut the exemption at Atlanta’s Hartsfield Jackson Airport. Supportive lawmakers say it would help the state get federal money for aviation improvements throughout the state.
They also argue the credit shouldn’t be kept in place forever. A committee could soon approve the bill.
Lawmakers created the exemption in 2005 as Delta was facing bankruptcy and have extended it several times before making it permanent in 2012.
